Greetings, My friends...
I have been going through all of the old threads of this campaign, trying to get a good grip on what's going on with the campaign, and I need to ask a favor of all of the entrants...I'm posting this roll call thread to find out just exactly how many of the 74 members that signed up is going to be submitting an entry...so if you would just take a quick second to answer this easy question, all ya gotta do is type something like "I'm in" or something to that effect and that's it! Thanks to all again for your participation in this wonderful campaign,
Gunny

Hi Gunny,
The HMS Dreadnought will be starting soon. I've got to complete the three exsisting tanks on my bench, before I can start on the Dreadnought and the Flattop.

I am certainly working hard on the Missouri. Whether she'll be in commission by the deadline is still TBD!!
I'm making slow but steady progress, and plan to have some updated photos before too long.

So count me in.

I started building Tamiya Gneisenau two weeks and still waiting to buy the PE rails for it. I know it looks a bit miserable now but I'll finish it for the campaign for sure
Cheers

Painfully slow progress on my Nelson is being made. The turrets have been cleaned up and are nw ready for new 20mm tubs, the port holes drilled out, portholes on the superstructire drilled, and the hawsepipes opened up for the anchors.
If I can just get a week or two off the road I could make a go of this.

My project is to try to replicate this scene:
During part of the last week (nights) I "hatched" this
It is supposed to be a Fleet Tug!

Well I sure did learn one thing: it's not easy to paint a ship with the superstructure etc already glued to the hull.
So at the moment I am figuring out how to paint the ship properly

Hi Mark
I am in.
I understand that my kit should be on its way.
"Thanks Mike".
I will start it the moment it arrives and with the additional time recently provided I will be finished on time.

Uh-Oh...yeah, Martin, takes a super steady hand to do this well, Bro...I always paint my decks first, superstructures, etc. before assembly. Good luck, keep us posted!
